Join our ‘Small Beginnings Journal’ project! The project will explore ways of noticing the everyday moments around us and capturing them within a journal that will hopefully become a creative companion!
Over the 10 weeks sessions, gentle warm-ups will be based in the Small Beginnings journal and support bigger ideas beyond it on larger art-based activities, exploring drawing techniques that include; mark making, collage, observational and abstract tonal, line and shape drawings.
No previous experience is needed, it’s all about giving it a go and getting creative with others in the community.
This course is free of charge. All materials and refreshments are provided, so what are you waiting for!?
